Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

    She’s postwar. Boomer by definition. Silent generation is for children raised during the war.

    Eta: I looked up the dates and I can see a lot of sources that give the 1946 date so consensus is on your side. I’m old, but the boundary used to be those who were raised during the war vs those who wouldn’t have any memory of it. There is the same argument on the other side as well where late boomers claim to be “Generation Jones” between boomers and X.



















  • Nobody else seems to remember the Hillary is 44 movement. It was an early version of foreign mischief and tried to do to the left what the Tea Party did to the right.

    When I said she was John the Baptist I was actually thinking of her first run at president when she and John McCain were doing vodka shots in Moscow laughing about how one of them was going to be president.

    She could have been a herald for a rejuvenation of the Democrats with a younger face. Instead she fought it all the way down.
